Abstract:

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a distinct and pleomorphic form of sarcoma, which usually occurs in soft tissues but can be found in bones, kidney, larynx, lung, heart, and even aorta. Since the first description of MFH of the spleen by Govoni et al. in 1982, only 10 case have been reported in the literature worlwide. We report on a 45-yr-old female with MFH of the spleen and liver, with special emphasizes on immunohistochemical findings.
